Psalms 75

1 Unto the end. May you not be corrupted. A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. We will confess to you, O God. We will confess, and we will call upon your name. We will describe your wonders.

To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.

2 While I have time, I will judge justices.

When I receive an appointment, I — I do judge uprightly.

3 The earth has been dissolved, with all who dwell in it. I have confirmed its pillars.

Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I — I have pondered its pillars. (Selah)

4 I said to the iniquitous: “Do not act unjustly,” and to the offenders: “Do not exalt the horn.”

I have said to the boastful, 'Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, 'Raise not up a horn.'

5 Do not exalt your horn on high. Do not speak iniquity against God.

Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)

6 For it is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor before the desert mountains.

For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness — [is] elevation.

7 For God is judge. This one he humbles and that one he exalts.

But God [is] judge, This He maketh low — and this He lifteth up.

8 For, in the hand of the Lord, there is a cup of undiluted wine, full of consternation. And he has tipped it from here to there. So, truly, its dregs have not been emptied. All the sinners of the earth will drink.

For a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,

9 But I will announce it in every age. I will sing to the God of Jacob.

And I — I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.

10 And I will break all the horns of sinners. And the horns of the just will be exalted.

And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
